Commercial Photographer Normandie Les Mirettes de Camille – Optician at Percy-en-normandie, photographed by Sabina Cowdery I live in a little village in Normandy countryside, called Villebaudon. The nearest small town is Percy-en-Normandie and I’ve done many projects capturing events for the town hall, various projects for local businesses and produced two photo exhibitions. I follow the local business and commerce facebook pages and learnt of a new business venture that was developing over several months. A commerce that had been empty for a while was being redeveloped to house the first local for and new optician, Les Mirettes de Camille. The renovation was supported by the Town Hall of Percy-en-Normandie and the Réseau Initiative Granville-Villedieu Intercoms. I decidedRead more “Commercial Photographer Normandie”

Commercial Photography Normandy. By corporate photographer in Normandy Sabina Cowdery. I was contacted by Les Jardins de Créances about a commercial photography project. They work directly with producers in the Manche department of Normandy, France who grow a wide range of field-grown vegetables. The vegetables grown by their producers are washed and packaged in Créances and in the Val de Saire, and shipped to destinations in France and abroad. Their project had two elements, for their upcoming modern website. Firstly they were looking to capture portraits of their personnel as they work, both adminastrative and production, including a group photo. Secondly they wanted to create visuals to illustrate the steps of their production and packaging and all departmentsRead more “Commercial Photography Normandy”

To give my family for example the freedom to choose to ‘up sticks’ from our home country of England to come and live here in Normandy back in 2004. I’m privileged in that as a photographer based not far from the famous D-Day Landing Beaches ofRead more “Normandy D-Day Veterans Photographed at the Landing Beaches”

Event Photographer – Visit to the Historic Park Ornavik. From Vikings to Normans, photographed by Sabina Cowdery. Normandie Attractivité invited me to discover Ornavik, a fascinating historical park, that recreates the era before and after the Vikings arrived in Normandy.

The first is a recreation of Norman life before the arrival of the Vikings. This is known as the Carolingian period after the King of the Franks, Charlemagne. This area allows youRead more “Visit Ornavik – Event Photographer”

Exposition Photo – Artisans – Percy-en-Normandie By professional photographer Sabina Cowdery Discover the photo exhibition featuring the talented Artisans of Percy-en-Normandie captured by professional photographer Sabina Cowdery The town hall of Percy-en-Normandie contacted me to ask if I would produce their outdoor summer photo exhibition and asked me to propose a theme. I quickly came up with the idea to feature the local artisans, some of whom are well known but others perhaps not so much. The other element that I wanted to show was which businesses large and small have know-how and expertise that is artisanal. I also proposed that the photo club of the local high school participate as I’m its patron. It’s run by Alexandre Lamy, theRead more “Artisans Photo Exhibtion – Percy-en-Normandie”

Hospital Medical Photographer – Centre de la Baie – Radiotherapy Centre in Normandy. By commercial photographer Sabina Cowdery. // Lire cet article en français // I recently carried out a photo-shoot for the Centre de la Baie, a radiotherapy and oncology centre in Avranches, Normandy. I asked to visit the centre beforehand to meet members of staff but also for two other reasons. Firstly I wanted to see the rooms that house the main three radiotherapy machines. This was so I would be able to assess the light in these rooms, knowing that there would be no natural light. This allowed me to judge that I would bring additional lights for the actual photo-shoot to accentuate the participantsRead more “Hospital Medical Photographer – Normandy – France”

Commercial Product Photography & Videography Behind the scenes of the most fascinating project for Archvillain Games Well, where do I start? What began as a ‘standard’ photo-shoot request quickly evolved into a much larger and simply fascinating project, that was both challenging and fulfilling at the same time. I was contacted by Konstantinos Martinos of Archvillain Games about photographing their five prototypes for a crowdfunding investment launch planned for October. They’re called ‘Gauntlets’ and essentially they are accessories developed to enhance the enjoyment of playing ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. Now I vaguely remember the game launching when I was a child (I’m showing my age now!) but had no idea that it is enjoying a huge resurgence. It’s due to those ‘kids’ of the 80sRead more “Commercial Product Photography & Videography”
